Hi, I am new to Samza, I am evaluating Samza as the backbone for my streaming CEP requirement. I have:
1. Multiple data enrichment and ETL jobs 2. Multiple domain specific CEP rulesets 3. Common/shared system services like consuming topics/streams and persisting the messages in ElasticSearch and HDFS. My questions are: 1. Can I, or is it recommended to, package multiple jobs as 1 deployment with 1 properties file or keep each app separated? Based on the documentation, it appears to support 1 app/job within a single configuration as there is no mechanism to assign multiple app classes and given each a name unless I am mistaken. 2. If only 1 app per config+deployment, what is the best way to handle requirement #3 - common/shared system services as there is no app or job per say, I just need to specify the streams and output system (ie org.apache.samza.system.hdfs.writer. BinarySequenceFileHdfsWriter or org.apache.samza.system.elasticsearch.indexrequest.DefaultIndexRequestFactory). Given it's a common shared system service not tied to specific jobs, can it be deployed without an app? Thank you in advance for your help, looking forward to learning more about Samza and developing this critical feature using Samza! Regards, Eric
